...this doesn't know how to talk!
What has he done about the situation so far? Every year hundreds of kids, especially northern girls, are married away before age 18. What has John Mahama done so far, zero. Talk is cheap.

Mahama within his time will fight to ensure that early child marriage is eradicated. This problem will be resolved in no time as long as rural leaders and parents are educated towards it. Within the NDC regime, such social ca ...

Mahama must be bold to tell his Muslims men. They are the ones who like to marry nine and ten years old girls. Their prophet did it, and they follow his bad foot steps.

Your Yemeni guests are worse for that, Mr President. They marry girls as young as 8yrs old who die during childbirth.
Just do a web search of it and understand their culture too!!!
REMEMBER YOUR 17-YEAR OLD MAID WHO HAD TO BE SHIPPED OUT OF THE COUNTRY AFTER YOU IMPREGNATED HER AND YOUR WIFE NEARLY SORT DIVORCE AND HAD TO BE TALKED TO BY YOUR DISGRACEFUL ASSEMBLIES OF GOD PASTORS?
MAKE IT LEGALLY ILLEGAL.
Oh Mr President you talk like Donald Trump. Asem b3n koraa ni!!!!!!
Read the article before you reply with such nonsense. What has dead goat done all this years about child marriage with his own people in the north?
Their prophet was a pedophile. At age 40 he married a poor 12 year old girl. So they all want to be like him
Does this guy have Advisors? If he does, he might not have been listening to their advice or their advice too are not worth a spit.

President must act according to the law of his country but shouldn't talk like a class-one pupil. This is a demonstration of low thinking. Ghana is disgraced.
Presidents don't make such remarks to an audience. What happened to simple etiquette and how to choose your words correctly, Mr. Mahama.
President Mahama's choice of words are shameful and unbecoming of his office.
Yes, I remember he bonked your mother when she was 15.
OH! YOU ARE HIS RAPIST PARTNER. NTAFUO ARE TOO STUPID.
KILLING MIGHT BE NORMAL TO PRES MAHAMÀ. NOT ONLY IS HE INCITING VIOLENT CRIME, BUT HE IS ALSO SAYING ANYONE MUST KILL WHEN AGGRIEVED BY SOMEONE. IMPEACH HIM NOW
Was it not this man who killed Mills so that he can become president of Ghana at all cost?
Mahama wo ye wudini paa oo!

THE MAJORITY CHIEF WHIP AND EX MINISTER OF NDC ALHAJI MUNTAKA DATED AND MARRIED AN UNDERAGE GIRL. MAHAMA LOOK NO FURTHER IF YOUR GUN IS READY
And truly this fool will go to prison.
Using words like killing by a president is highly insensitive to the current environment in Ghana when there has been a senseless killing of an MP. This man is simply a fool. He has no sense whatsoever.
How do you think he became president? He whacked Atta Mills. Remember Mills last words:Medi ninyaraa amah Nyame (I have given it all to God ).
The problem is in Ghana and Africa as a whole why? Because of poor leadership and mismanaged of Africa resources, parents can't afford to take care of their respective children, poverty has gripping Africa because of corrupti ...
